Leaving vacuum on during liner install...?

[rwb1]

Had a pool installed today...(pics to follow), my question is when can I shut the vacuum off and not get wall wrinkles...?

Pool is 27' round(18.5kgallons) and is about 7-8" full.

Its raining now and I want to shut it off for the night...should I shut the water off also and start the suction and water again in the morning...or take the vacuum out and let it fill. Liner looks nice and smooth as do the walls.

Tried calling the installer with no answer

thanks for the help

Leave it on until the pool is full. Nothing good can happen if you shut it off during refill.

I will shut off both tonight and resume suction/filling in the AM...thanks

If your liner is against the wall and has no wrinkles pull the vac and let it fill. Normally we pull the vac as soon as there is enough water weight to hold the liner without wrinkles. About 4" of water

Agree with swimcmp.

Well, I am learning something. What do you gain by shutting it off?

Started the vacuum and water again this morning before I read this....walls were nice and smooth...oh well.
